Steve (Grrenland, cron maintainer), input=A0?

Javier asked for shadow to be changed to have the PAM configuration
for login to use pam_limits.so and points me to the change he asked
you about this.

shadow (and login) being part of the base system, I'm very
conservative about any change, while we are so close of the release.

So, Steve, do you plan to push this in sarge, or only make the change
in sid?

In any case, I'll also request the advice of the release team...
